100 Beautiful Baskets, the free exhibition at the V&A Waterfront, has been extended until 28 February 2022.
A special wine tasting will take place at the exhibition every Thursday from 18h00 to 19h00, but bookings for that event are essential. RSVP to info@waterfrontwineshop.co.za to secure your attendance at the wine tasting.
The 100 Beautiful Baskets exhibition, which was curated by Platform Creative, and opened for public viewing in November 2021 at the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre. The contemporary exhibition celebrates Africa’s unique basket-weaving traditions and showcases woven vessels, furniture, jewellery and much more from different communities – stretching from KZN, Ghana to Zambia and Uganda.
With a strong focus on Southern Africa’s diverse groups of basket-weavers, this first-of-its-kind free exhibition brings together some of the most revered names in basketry, giving this highly skilled handcraft the recognition it deserves. 100 Beautiful Baskets showcases African heritage moving into a contemporary world – a collective culture that all people from this continent can recognise, share and take pride in.
Each piece has all been carefully crafted by hand, by master weavers (mostly women) across the African continent, and behind every basket there is a story to tell and a person to meet.
